Darn it, this book is good!!!
This was an enjoyable reading, not the best book ever, but it's good and I would read the second one, that's for sure!

Finally I can start this one! It waited on my shelves for sooooo long!
Shadow Magic by Joshua Khan was so much fun! Packed with adventure, great characters, intrigue, humour, and even a giant bat. What more could you want?
Full review on my blog.
(4 stars) Three Thoughts 1) wow what a story! Filled with action and mystery...magic, bats and betrayal! 2) well developed and likable (mostly) characters can't wait to see what happens in next book 3) only complaint is I wish there'd been a female narrator for Lily's POV but overall an excellent audio
Last year, a group of students devoured Clare & Black's Iron Trial series. Shadow Magic would have been my follow up recommendation if it were available at the time. Both series have characters my younger and older readers will cheer for, & both plots will keep them wishing for the next book now! ❤️
Teaching rising 7th graders this summer was a good reminder that many of my readers, at the start of the new year, are so young! Some just aren't ready for the full force of YA. After the first 30 pp, I'm hopeful this middle level book has potential to speak to my younger & older fantasy readers.
Ahhhh! What a wild ride from author Joshua Kahn. I first heard about this book on Rick Riordan's Goodreads, and he wasn't wrong. SHADOW MAGIC's mythology and storytelling make it the best middle reader fantasy I've read in awhile. Can't wait for book two (next year??) 👏🏽👍🏾🎉 | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
